STOVE.

Application 'filed March 20, 1925. SerialNo. 16,974.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, BERT A. KINsnY, a

* in a stove occupying. a limited area, as in the corner of a room or anoffset in the wall of a room, etc.

Another object of my invention is to provide a stove wherein the cookingvessels may form a part of the stove structure, thus eliminating thenecessity of various pots and pans and cupboards for storing them.

Another object of my invention is to -provide a stove of such form thatlids or covers are not required for the cooking vessels.

A further object of my invention is to provide a stove of such form thatthe maximum efiiciency is obtained from the fuel consumed.

A still further object of my invention is to simplify and improvegenerally the structure and operation of stoves.

One form which my invention may take is shown in the accompanyingdrawing, wherein 1 is a front elevational view of a stove embodying myinvention; Fig. 2 is a view taken on the line 22 of Fig, 1; Fig. 3 is aview of a portion of the apparatus of Fig. 1, showing one manner inwhich it may be used; Fig. 4; is a view similar to Fig. 3 but showing avertical section through a different portion of the apparatus; Fig. 5 isa view taken on the line 5 5 of Fig. 2; Fig. 6 is a horizontal sectionalview on a plane different than thatof Fig. 5-, and Fig. 7 is a frontelevational view of a portion of the apparatus of Fig. 1, the partsremoved.

the cooking vessels. The vertically aligned openings 21 are preferablyprovidedwvith with certainoff ordinary stove pipe 10. The casing 8 ispro- .vided with a burner opening 11 at the top,

upon which vessels too large to be placed within the: compartmentshereinafter referred to may be set, a gas burner 12 being providedtherebeneathQ The casing 8 is provided with an oven compartment 13 thathas doors 14; and beneath which a burner 15 is placed. The ovencompartment has the usual shelf-supporting brackets 16. The oven chamber13 may extend rearwardly nearly to the flue 9 as shown'in Fig. 5. I

Upon the oven I mount a perforated partition plate 17 that is preferablydisposed on the diametral line of thecas1ng8. The upper end of thepartition 17 is secured to 'a horizontally disposed partition plate 18..

In the semi-circular portion of the chamber 8 which is disposed to thefront of the partition 17 I provide, as shown in Fig. 7, a plurality ofopenings 19, 20 and 21 for the reception of cooking vessels. Fuel supplypipes 22 lead to the oven burner 12 and, through openings 28 in thefront wall of the casing '8, to burners 2 1. The fuel supply pipes tothe burners are controlled by valves 25 which maybe of the usual form.for assisting in combustion of the gas is permitted to enter the casing8 through openings 26 which are shown more clearly in Fig. 7 A burner 24is disposed adjacent to each of the openings 19, 20 and 21 in planesbelow the openings. The burners are supported at their rear sides bybrackets 27 which are riveted or otherwise secured to the partition 17,and at their front sides are supported by the gas connections.

Above each horizontal series of burners 24 I mount a grid 28, as shownmore clearly in Figs. 2 and (5 that may rest upon the burner brackets 27or be secured to the partition 17 and the front wall of the stove, asThese grids serve as supports for hinged doors 30 that have latchinghandles v 31 and "also glass panels throughwhich the The stovecomprisesa casing or body porcontents of a pan-or other cooking vesselmay be observed.- The pans .or' Skillets may have handles as shown bythe skillets 32 in Fig. 2, in which case the door would have to rem nOren hi e h k le is it I The two series ofverticaly aligned openings l9and 21 permit of the insertion of cooking ressels and which arepreferably of sector-like form as shown more clearly in Fig.

The middle tier of vessels that are in sorted through the openings mayalso be of sector for-mas shown at??? 5). The

burners 24- are preferably made triangular or sector-hire, to conformsomewhat to-tne shape of the cooking vessels.

V'lhe vessels and 36 constitutein effect T a portion of the stove sincethey arefianged heat the' same.

at their front ends, as indicated in Fig. 4

at 38, and thereby serve as closure members forthe openings 19 and 21.lyVhenthe cool;- ing vessels and 86 are all in place the stove will havethe appearance shown in Fig. 1. I

While a burner 24: is provided for each cooking vessel, it will be seenthat by reason of the presence of the partition 17 there may: besufficient heat from one or two burn ers in the compartment between thepartition 17 and the front of the stove to not only cook articles placedabove, said burners but to cook articles contained in other portions ofthe compartment that do not require a great amount of heat. The variousperforations heretofore referred to provide for exit of burnt gases, asindicated by the a rows. The perforations are preferably of such sizethat they retard somewhat the flow of burnt gases so that some of suchgases will be drawn into the lower open end of the flue 9, asindicatedby the arrows. This arrangement not only prevents excessiveloss of heat but the'oven 13 may be utilizet to keep food warm withoutlighting its burner 15, since the burnt gases conducted past it to thelower end of, the fine 9 will A shelf 40 is provided as'show n in Fig.1., such shelf being-supportedat its outer edge by a pivoted strut 41whose lower end rests in a bracket l2. The strut ll is supported at itslower end against vertical movement by a lug at?) that rests upon alilgi-i secured to the side of the stove. If the lower end of the strutll be'pullod outward, the shelf 10 may then he slid! into a horizontalrecess above the oven 13, the lower end of thestrut 14 being permittedto move downwardly so as not to interfere witlrsucli horizontal movementof thesheIf 4:0.

7 Referring to Fig. 1, itbivill be seeirtliat the topmost opening 20,that is closedby the door 30, is ider than the openings therebeneath andthat the upper vessels 35 and 36 are narrower than the vessels belothem,"

This arrangement permits of the economical employment of frying pans ofvarious sizes in the middle row of'compartments, and by var in the l-l fth 7 l5 and 3 3 I 12L). 0L u (25bit u c c) to c rrespondlto thc variouswidths of the fr; g pan compartments, cooking; vessels of various sizesmay be used and all of the availablespace nevertheless utilized.

It will be understood that the stove need not be circular inoros'ssection, but may be polygonal, or the rear side may be flattened and itsfront portion arcuate. ikewise,

the arrangement of the cookingwesscls and fuel to'be employed, it willbe apparent that heat: may be had from othersources, as oil,

electricity, etc. 7 I
